This power struggle eventually ends in tragedy. Tensions grow as there are two potential leaders with very different styles, and the boys try and decide how best to dedicate their time and effort towards hunting to bring in food or towards getting themselves rescued.
The novel details the struggles of the boys on the island and their belief that there is a terrible beast residing along with them.
The boys quickly elect Ralph as their leader because he is a good-looking boy and because he has the conch. They discover a conch shell and blow on the shell, which acts as a beacon and summons the remaining boys who were part of the crash. When the novel opens, Ralph and Jack find themselves on an island, having just been part of a plane crash.
